Summary: Moonlight Bay Revisited
Review: Although not as suspenseful as "Midnight", "Fear Nothing" is a great addition to the Koontz Moonlight Bay saga. The basic plot concerns Christopher Snow, who suffers from a pigmentation disorder ('XP') that prevents him from venturing outside in the daylight. This disorder confines Snow to a nocturnal existance (described poetically in several sections by Snow) and limits his contact with the 'normal' people in his community. However, if you read "Midnight", Koontz's 1980s novel, you know that very few people are 'normal' in Moonlight Bay! Snow's parents die separately but mysteriously, and when Snow witnesses his father's body in the hospital"s "cold room" being replaced with that of a transient -- sans eyes and badly beaten -- he knows something's terribly wrong. What follows is a fast-paced nighttime adventure that introduces the reader to Orson, Snow's very intelligent dog (more intelligent than we think, due to some 'enhancement' done at a supposedly closed military base); Bobby, his 'surfer dude' friend who is so laid back that it takes the "monkeys of the apocalypse" to worry him; and Sasha, Snow's girlfriend who is more than she seems, especially when the aforementioned monkeys attack Bobby's beachfront house at the end of the novel. The only criticism I have is that Koontz makes no mention of the previous events of his central coast community -- some reference to the other biological experiments of "Midnight" would have been nice. "Fear Nothing" does not go into the depth of the genetic research that "Midnight" does, but makes up for it with a protagonist who is funny, intelligent, poetic, and very human. My suggestion for reading this novel is to do what I did: read "Fear Nothing", then go straight into "Seize the Night", which takes place only a month after the events in "Fear Nothing" conclude. The stories make more sense, and frankly, could have been combined into one novel.

Summary: Fear Nothing
Review: As an animal lover, this book deeply affected my sense of kinship with my pets. My dog and cat's eyes took on a whole new dimension after reading about Chris and his "brother." The very real possibility of understanding and communicating with my pet intrigued me. Fear Nothing's creepy and conspiratorial narrative delves deep under a an abandoned military base where past animal intelligence experiments are spreading to the inhabitants of a small town, changing them in unthinkable ways. As Chris searches to uncover his mother's secret contribution to the ungodly plague, he discovers new and mysterious horrors and truths. Fear Nothing presents the will of the human and animal spirit and is classic Koontz that leaves you wanting more...so read Seize the Night, too! It continues the terrible ordeal of a small US town struggling to survive an unstoppable force. Both are EXCELLENT!

Summary: Good Book
Review: Dean knootz has done it again with another great book. But It does has its negative points. One Negative point is how the main character (Christopher Snow) tends to ramble too much he rambles so much that I end up skipping a lot of pages. When the suspense builds up Christopher Snow sometimes ruins the suspense by rambling on about something totally different from what is going on and this could last forever. But on the good side, this book had a really nice story. It was so good that I skipped some of my classes just to read what is going to happen to Chris and what is going on in Moonlight Bay. This book was very good but if you are a kind of reader who likes books that gets to the point and doesn't like rambling about stuff that doesn't even make sense with the book, you shouldn't read this book. But if you don't care about the rambling, This is a must buy!

Summary: FEAR NOTHING
Review: WHILE THIS BOOK IS GOOD READING, IT IS MERELY THE FIRST PART OF WHAT OBVIOUSLY IS A LARGER BOOK THAT THE AUTHOR HAS HALVED IN ORDER TO SELL TWO BOOKS. THIS BOOK SIMPLY INTRODUCES THE READER TO THE CHARACTERS THAT EXIST IN THE SECOND BOOK,"SEIZE THE NIGHT". MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO BYPASS "FEAR NOTHING" AND READ THE MORE DIFINITIVE "SEIZE THE NIGHT", UNLESS YOU HAVE EXTRA MONEY TO WASTE. "SEIZE THE NIGHT" IS A MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE AND SCARY BOOK.

Summary: A shockingly scary book-gave me chills
Review: One of my favorite authors, he captures the book and maks it feel as if your there. I was shaking as I turned and flipped through each page. The book shows you what things look like from the dark side. And what happens when an experiment goes extremely wrong.... The ending is wonderfull! I have never looked at monkeys the same way either... This book was far better than any of King's work that I've read! - Mindy, age 12

Summary: Another GREAT Koontz Novel
Review: Fear Nothing is my third Koontz novel. I read all these 3 in the last week. Koontz just passed King out as my favorite author. I read Seize the Night first, then Intensity, then Fear Nothing. I started Fear Nothing late Saturday evening. Today, Monday, I completed it in one 100 page read-fest. I liked it even better than Seize the Night. Reading the sequel (Seize the Night) first made me think that I wouldn't be able to enjoy Fear Nothing. I was totally wrong. It captivated me from the very start. I can't wait for the next book in the series to come out. Moonlight Bay is as real to me as the town I live in. I feel as if I know the characters. I expect that to pass the time between now and the third in the series, I will read many more Koontz novels. And I wouldn't be surprised if I revisit Moonlight Bay through Fear Nothing and Seize the Night between now and then.
